I am one of those. My reason for this was that I just don´t like that at the beginning of a season there are only 2-6 guys who realisticly have a shot at getting the WDC just because of the team they are in.

For me F1 is more about the drivers than the teams or the technology. I just want everyone who made it to F1 to be able to challenge for wins if they have the talent for it and not being limited by their cars.

I know that this doesn´t equalize things completly but I would like to think that it brings competition closer together than it is right now.

All as long as teams are not forced into it and everyone can still develop their own cars if they want to.

No, i don´t think so. This is exactly how it is supposed to work. Ebay for example does it the same way ;)
The highest bid will allways bei just above the second highest bid. For example in this case if someone bids 4900 then you will then be placed at 5000 and this goes on until someone actually bids more than your 5300 gems.

I did not spend any real money on this event. Just what I got from selling my inventory. I started with 11000 gems and the result is:
* Brother - a tale of two sons
* Alan Wake
* 2,29$ in my steam wallet
* Crafted some badges

Overall I have to say that it work out really well for me. It feels like getting free games in exchange for something that had no value before.
I tried to go for games that aren´t that popular but were still games I actually wanted to play.

Magine is not going to stay free forever, they already introduced a new price model where you have to pay 6,99 € to view all the private TV Stations like RTL the only thing you get for free now are the likes of ARD and ZDF.

I think that is still a fair price if you are actually using it, but if you are someone like me who doesn´t really watch TV except some sport events every now and then its not quite worth it :(
